On The 12th Day of Senior Project...

-

  Today I continued my printing process, seeing each of my photos finally come to life. The chemicals needed to print the photos did not come in until recently, so today was spent as a catch up day. Before dedicating my time to printing, the dark room was locked so I started to brainstorm my final presentation. I later called security and luckily they let me in so I could begin my work.

Just like the other day, I was so focused and working so intensely on my prints that I didn't even realize how much time had flown by. This is one of the reasons I have loved this project, it doesn't feel like I am forcing myself to fill the hourly requirements, I am just so engulfed in what I am doing. 

My prints today consisted of photos from Sunapee, Proctor, Georges Mills, and other locations I had drifted off to. For my final two days of work I will print any additional photos I feel are necessary and begin piecing together my collections to prepare for Express Fest. Here are all of my prints thus far:


Daily hours: 4.5

The Final Blog

       Welcome to my final blog of senior project! I picked up right where I left off yesterday by continuing to organize which photos would be used in my presentation tomorrow and what wouldn't. I had to separate some of the photos that had damaged, duplicates, or were too dark or too light. For example, the three photos below are all from the same negative, however they were exposed to different light and cropped differently. I had to pick one of the pictures to use in my final poster board, I felt the top left was the right choice.  After doing this with any other duplicates, I started to lay out my poster boards. I used the four themes, nature, people, Eliza, and landscape. I taped down the prints rather than gluing because I want to be able to take them off after I present the photos.  I played around with different formats and laid the photos many different watts before I felt satisfied. I then cut the poster board to the size of the collage I had pie...

The Photos Come to Life

  What an amazing day dedicated to printing the photos I have been taking the past few weeks! I have not yet printed because we needed to replace some of the chemicals in the dark room. Once they arrived, Kate replenished them and I was clear to start working. My anticipation to see the photos of yesterday's photoshoot and Quechee Gorge was through the roof. I was quite the busy bee trying to hustle and print all of my favorite photos.  At first, my excitement took over me and I grew a little impatient so my first few prints were either damaged, chemically incorrect, or the wrong lighting. Fortunately, after some time I paused and forced myself to slow down because I could feel frustration building up. When I had relaxed, the process became a lot smoother and I could really see my photos come to life! I found myself so focused and engaged with my work I hadn't even realized how much time had passed. The time to wrap up my day quickly crept up on me and I had to begin cleanin...
